Of course I don’t mean those art-stealing cannibals over at Adobe allowing them, I mean the Wine software allowing them, as it semantically implied.

Like I said, I wouldn’t touch Adobe with a 39.5 foot pole, but Photoshop is unfortunately necessary in those relatives’ industry, so getting on a high horse and telling them to use GIMP or Krita is not going to accomplish anything.

I’ve gotten used to GIMP and used it for a lot of cool thing (especially G’MIC for getting CD liner note scans looking quite good), but it’s just not a solution for serious professional use.

Not necessarily. It’s often less Calc’s capability that is at issue, and moreso its compatibility with imported sheets. Calc tends to have every feature I need when I make a spreadsheet.

I think the main issue I’ve seen is when people need bug-for-bug (or nearly so) compatibility with VB macros.

I personally never want to touch anything Adobe ever again, but for my father’s and grandfather’s use cases, they still need it, so if it ends up working well, maybe it’ll finally allow them to use Linux.

Late gen Z, generally modern indie centric tastes; there might be a deeper genre name than that, but that’s what I can think of off the top of my head. Also has some 70s-90s stuff, including picking up a few of my favorite They Might Be Giants songs, mostly Lincoln-era stuff.

I don’t know.

If anything, me and my younger sibling were actively annoyed by a lot of the show’s music choices, and modern show music in general. In both this show and recent Stranger Things seasons, they put music in every single moment, even moments that should be silent.

But what about Lower Decks volume 2?

Y skinnee Picard?

Or yt-dlp.

I believe 3.0 finally moved to Python 3. Resynthesizer was also totally rewritten for 3.0, but I don’t think it’s in Python anymore (?).

Lucky for me, I upgraded both my desktop and laptop to 2TB SSDs before they decreed that the peasants can’t have SSDs or RAM anymore.

I get the complaints of lackluster writing in SNW S3, but also, you haven’t seen truly bad media until you’ve watched either Twisters or Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, which makes Discovery season 2 seem downright straightforward and well-written by comparison.

It’s not the best consolation, but it could go much worse. Also, I feel like if I had a choice, I’d take being strapped to a chair and forced to watch SNW season 3 looped 2.5 times over the same for TNG season 1.

Unless it does something egregious, I’ll probably push myself through it no matter what for the sake of completionism.

Speaking of which, I need to do that for Disco’s last couple seasons before I start the show.

I read it through my library, which keeps a good stock of Trek comic volumes. I think I now also have a PDF of it from a Humble Bundle.

You forgot somebody, and he’s very mad:

My biggest worry is what they do with the Klingons in the 31st century; they’re probably going to talk about how war-torn and poor Qo’Nos is or have the planet have gotten blow up or something dumb like that.

I’d love to have it so that either Qo’Nos surprisingly has had its crap together and managed to avoid brutal civil wars post-burn, with the result being in defiance of all expectations, it was one of the better planets to get stuck on after the Burn.

This guy is low-key the Gowron of the Orions. I kind of hope he shows up again in one of the two later seasons.

Post system specs here just to be safe. If it’s an older machine, there could be various hardware failures. “Monitors” makes it sound like a desktop, but you should clarify just to be safe, and perhaps indicate if has PCIe slots or is more of a mini PC.

Also, what do you mean by “monitors going dark”? Are the backlights on, or are they absolutely dark?

It’s probably not Secure Boot. I mean, worth a test, but it sounds like the issue occurs in the middle of a running session, which is not consistent with the issues sometimes presented by Secure Boot.
